Skippy's Story

Meet Skippy, aka Skippy-Doo! He&#39;s a 3-year-old, ~60-lb Shepsky mix with a heart full of love and energy. Skippy&#39;s journey had a perfectly fairytale beginning -- he sneaked into his foster family&#39;s yard to play with their resident dogs and was discovered the next morning. At the time, he was shy, having spent his life as a stray avoiding humans. But now, Skippy has blossomed into a happy and confident dog, excited to meet new people and enjoy life to the fullest.<br/><br/>Skippy is incredibly dog-friendly, and he would thrive in a home with another energetic, playful dog. He&#39;s a toy lover and has a habit of hoarding them, often stashing his toys in his bed and forgetting about them. He especially loves chasing footballs. He&#39;s also learned several commands, including sit, stay, leave it, touch, and shake, and his playful, youthful energy makes him a great companion for active families or individuals who enjoy outdoor adventures. Skippy is a foster &#34;office dog&#34; at a local business, where he&#39;s well-mannered and enjoys car rides, making him a great buddy to take along on outings.<br/><br/>While Skippy is whip-smart and eager to please, he&#39;s still learning and isn&#39;t quite housetrained yet. However, with his quick learning abilities and eagerness to make his humans happy, he&#39;ll do well with a bit of guidance and consistency in his training. Skippy does have some resource guarding tendencies, especially with toys or the backseat of a car, but he&#39;s never shown aggression-just a polite warning bark when he feels the need to claim his space.<br/><br/>Skippy is a healthy, fully-vetted dog who has been treated for heartworms, is on heartworm preventative, and is up-to-date on all vaccinations. He&#39;s neutered and microchipped, ready for his forever family! If you&#39;re looking for a fun-loving, playful dog who will bring joy to your life, Skippy might just be the perfect companion. He&#39;s ready to make new memories with you!<br/><br/>If you&#39;re ready to welcome Skippy into your heart and home, apply today at www.doggedly.org/ado
